Today, African leaders demanded that Putin return to the grain agreement.
African countries demand that Russia return to the “grain agreement” and threaten the Kremlin with the deterioration of relations.
The issue of grain supplies is one of the most important for African politicians who have come to the summit in St. Petersburg. His decision should be a priority, the head of the African Union, Azali Assoumani, said at the Russia-Africa summit.”This is a vital issue for us.
The suspension of the grain agreement may have a certain impact on our cooperation . Our continent is currently experiencing a serious impact on food prices.
Therefore, we appeal to all participants in the process with a great request to facilitate the delivery of both Ukrainian and Russian grain to our countries”, Assoumani,
At the summit, Putin announced Russia’s readiness to supply 25,000 to 50,000 tons of grain to six countries – Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Mali, Somalia, the Central African Republic (CAR), Eritrea – in the next 3-4 months. The Moscow Times notes that all these countries, with the exception of Somalia, did not vote in the UN for resolutions condemning Russian aggression against Ukraine.
In addition, the promised volumes will amount to only $40-80 million, or 0.5-1% of total Russian exports to African countries. Also, this is only 0.3-0.6% of the total Russian export of wheat in the 2022-2023 agricultural year. Thus, Putin’s promised aid to Africa really looks like a small handout.

Good.
“Thus, Putin’s promised aid to Africa really looks like a small handout.”
The proper name for this is a bribe.
He’s promising in 3-4 months? What takes that long? Oh silly me, he is planning on stealing it because harvest time is now.
“Putin announced Russia’s readiness to supply 25,000 to 50,000 tons of grain to six countries”
He must think the African leaders are stupid, they just watched little putin BURN that much in Odesa yesterday.
“African countries demand that Russia return to the “grain agreement” and threaten the Kremlin with the deterioration of relations.”
Maybe the Africans can accomplish more than NATO and the collective West. Nothing can surprise me anymore about our weakness.
At the same time, according to him, the appearance of Yevgeny Prigozhin at the “Russia – Africa” forum is not a coincidence.
“This is a signal to African countries that the Russian Federation will represent its presence using the Wagner PMC and other PMCs that are legally prohibited on the territory of the Russian Federation,” Snegiriov added.
Prigozhin got promotion by Putin. He was also at this summit. Wagner wil make these countries stable in return for all their resources!
Putinazi Russia will increasingly find themselves on the outside. No one is going to want them around. Even India is buying weapons from France now. Russia has cheated them dreadfully over the years, and India is tired of it.
